(scattered cheers)
Doug: Ace of Hearts. Eddie, you have two Aces with King-Jack-9.
Now we check Matt's last card. He's hoping it's either a third Queen, another Jack or the last Ace in the deck. Anything else and Eddie will be 40 points shy of victory.
Deej, please flip over Matt's last card.

(scattered groans)
Doug: Another Drew Brees card -- 9 of Spades. Eddie now leads 60-to-20.

|
|
Doug: But let's shift gears and see who'll win this 100-point dash. It's time for another Poker Run.
|
|
|
Doug: Now we don't make any adjustments to the scores. Each question is worth 15 points plus five additional points for each face card that's among the next pair of cards from the top of the deck. Let's see if royalty's coming down the chute.
  |
D.J.: The 10 of Spades and the 9 of Hearts.
Doug: A Chase Daniel card and another Drew Brees. Well, we stay at 15 for each question. Eddie, this means you're three right answers away from Joker Poker. Matt, I think you need six.
But we have a lot of questions and it's not over until someone cracks triple digits. We start this Poker Run -- now!
Thomas Edison defined "genius" as...
\ 50% inspiration

Doug: Matt.
Matt: None of the above
|

Doug: He defined genius as 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. He sure knew how to play the percentages. Next question's about the calendar.
The day after Thanksgiving is...
\ often dubbed Black Friday in the U.S.

Doug: Right again. Next question.
When making a list of capital cities of the world, you must include...
\ Toronto for Canada

A man named Tom Green has hosted at least one episode of the quiz show...
\ "Go For The Green"
\ "Sports On Tap"
\ all of the above
\ none of the above
Doug: Eddie.
Eddie: Sports On Tap
Doug: 'Fraid it's all the above. Now, here's the thing, there's a sportscaster named Tom Green who hosted "Sports On Tap" on ESPN. And then there's the Canadian comedian named Tom Green who hosted "Go For The Green" on the Planet Green channel. So given the phrasing of the query, all of the above was right.
Matt, this means this next question is just for you.

\ in the movie "M*A*S*H"

Doug: That's right. 1400 is 2:00pm in military time. It would be noon in Sacramento. Next one could do it for Eddie. Matt, chance to stop him.
